The Best Workplaces for Wellbeing list focuses on employees’ holistic experiences of wellbeing at work, including their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, social support, job satisfaction, and financial security, to reveal the best workplaces for wellbeing in the UK.
Our inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges our commitment to create a consistently and overwhelmingly positive employee experience, to foster cultures that are proven to drive business, improve lives, and better society. Over the past few years, we have introduced numerous new benefits, procedures, and policies to solidify our commitment to employee wellbeing including flexible hours, health insurance, personal days, our cycle to work scheme and more.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing List, Great Place To Work® reviewed our culture, benefits, approach to leadership and development, alongside anonymous responses from our employees. They then used these data insights to benchmark our company's employee value proposition against the culture our employees actually experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.
From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall our team highly commends our dedication to improve and grow our internal culture across our business.
One employee referenced our work/ life balance in their feedback saying:
"[On] numerous occasions, I've been allowed to prioritise a healthy work life balance that goes above and beyond any other company I've worked for. This is by far my favourite perk of working here, and allows me to do my best work."
“It’s really rewarding to see our inclusion in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing. Over the last few years, we’ve worked hard to prioritise work-life balance, fulfilment, and job satisfaction for everyone at Bridewell. Seeing the anonymous feedback, where many of our employees referred to their work-life balance and job satisfaction, affirmed the positive workplace culture we’ve built. We won’t stop here though and are always looking for new ways we can do more to support our employee’s wellbeing.”
"A thriving workplace culture is rooted in trust, pride, camaraderie, and a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing. As we mark the fourth year of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ list, we’re proud to celebrate organisations that go above and beyond to support their people’s mental, physical, financial, and social health. When employees feel truly valued and supported, they’re not only healthier – they’re also more energised, motivated and aligned with their organisation’s goals. Congratulations to Bridewell on earning a well-deserved place on this prestigious list!"
This award is our second from Great Place To Work over the past 12 months as we also featured in the UK's Best Workplaces for Development™ 2025 lists!
We’re so proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights Great Place To Work has provided us with to build on our culture and employee satisfaction.
